Beverage Bottles
When it comes to bottling beverages, whether alcoholic spirits, botanical infusions, syrups, vinegars, or cold-pressed extracts, selecting the right glass bottle is key to achieving a balance between preservation, product integrity, and presentation. The type of bottle you use affects not only how the product is stored and served, but also
how it’s perceived by your customer.
Our bottle range includes a variety of form factors and capacities, allowing for flexibility across everything from small-batch gifting to full-scale retail packaging. These bottles are commonly used in both food and drink sectors, particularly for liqueurs, cocktails, bitters, syrups, and non-alcoholic concentrates.
Available in sizes ranging from 50ml to 700ml, and in distinctive styles such as Vecchia, Hermes, Notturo, Galileo, Nora, and Passion, each bottle serves a specific purpose in terms of product volume, shelf presence, and user handling.
All styles are compatible with either T-stopper closures or screw caps, depending on the desired aesthetic, reusability, and product type.
Closures - Function & Compatibility
Each bottle style is available with stopper caps (often T-top natural or synthetic corks) and screw caps.
Stoppers provide a more traditional, tactile experience and are commonly used with spirits and oils, while screw caps offer practicality and tamper-resistance, especially in food-grade applications.
The choice of closure impacts both shelf life and usability, so should be matched to the viscosity, alcohol content, and storage conditions of the product.

Choosing the right glass bottle for rour beverage product
The ideal bottle for your formulation will depend on factors such as alcohol content, shelf life, packaging volume, and intended use (e.g. gifting, bar service, or retail display).
Smaller sizes are often used for samples, flights, or premium gift sets, while larger formats serve core product lines or flagship spirits.
Equally important is selecting the appropriate closure—stoppers for tradition and tactile appeal, screw caps for security and practical sealing.
By considering how shape, capacity, glass weight, and closure choice intersect with your brand and formulation goals, you can select packaging that enhances both the technical performance and presentation of your beverage product.
